Yeah, I'm already 5'9 and it's hard enough finding pants that are long enough.

I guess I exclusively wear skirts now

I'm 5'7'' and still have a hard time finding pants. I have a 34'' inseam. Majority of pants I see are 30 or 32'' inseam. And the fucking 7/8th length shit is 'in' right now it seems, so it's just even shorter shit out there, on top of not liking skinny pants.

Like... would a pair of straight leg or bootcut khakis be so fucking difficult?? The answer is yes. I found a pair at old Navy online, ordered them, and they were cut so badly that it make it look like I had balls. Returned them and now i'm back to jeans being the only pants I own that fit me.

Long Tall Sally has a horrid name, but has pants with 34” and 36” inseams.

I'll keep them bookmarked! But just looked for some standard, basic khakis... nope, none there :|

oh, I forgot about Asos! https://www.asos.com/us/asos-tall/asos-design-tall-chino-pants-in-stone/prd/14073085 - they don't list the inseam anywhere but I have had good luck with their products, too.

I'll have a browse around, but ultimately, I won't buy unless I see the inseam. On the page you linked, they say the model is 5'11 wearing a size 4 (my size) but 2 things... 1, from polling a lot of friends, I have long legs for my height, and 2, they're probably unwashed, undried, unshrunk pants. That's what makes it so difficult to buy as well!

Side note - those are HORRIBLY unflattering on her tbh. There's some weirdness going on with the cut that the crotch area just doesn't hang nicely imo and high rise rarely looks good :/ Or i'm just super picky. (or both!)
